SPORTSMEN'S NOTES,

Messrs. Ed Stoves Jr Il. bosch
and Ernest Stoves finding deer scarce
yesterday, turned their attention to
quail, OF which they bsgged 5S.
Wisconsin has passed law prohibit
ing the use of sneak boats, sink boxes or
the use OF deoOys in shooting ducks.
This is a desth-blow to pot-hunters.
Ohio prohibits shooting on Sundays
Mondays and Tuesdays. Ii is also I'M
lawful for one man to kill more than 25
ducks per day.
Sullivan and GuessaZ were fortunate
enough to kill lis quail yesterday. This
certainly Ia the largest bag of the sea-
son. Their dogs are asrd to beat.
Messrs. Gus Schneider, Aug. Richter,
Nato VilIareal, Richard Joungbecker,
and Aug. Brian, went out Saturday last
to TreyinlO's ranch, - miles south west,
and returned last night. They succeed
ed in bagging 80 quail, some rabbits and
doves, and just missed seeing some deer.
Messrs. T. II. Micklejohn, S. G. New
ton, Ed. o. Stevens, Tom Yates and
Peter Shields, left Saturday after quail
and returned yesterday afternoon. They
went out pretty far, but returned wit b
1879 quail, 80 ducks, some doves aud two
turkeys.
The scarcity Of quail this season COM
pared with other years suggests the idea
that the season ought not TO begin until
the first Of November, as about one
third OF the bevies flushed are not more
than half grown. Shortening the season
would not only give the birds chance
to mature, but would have tendency to
lessen the slaughter early 10 the season.
